dieter@dieter-ws ~ /usr/lib/openbox/xdg-autostart

ERROR: xdg-autostart requires PyXDG to be installed

dieter@dieter-ws ~ pacman -Qo /usr/lib/openbox/xdg-autostart
/usr/lib/openbox/xdg-autostart is owned by openbox 3.4.7.2-1
dieter@dieter-ws ~ pacman -Qi openbox
Name : openbox
Version : 3.4.7.2-1
URL : http://icculus.org/openbox
Licenses : GPL
Groups : None
Provides : None
Depends On : startup-notification libxml2 libxinerama libxrandr libxcursor pango
Optional Deps : None
(..)

pacman -S pyxdg -> xdg-autostart works.

So imho, pyxdg is an optdepend to enable the xdg-autostart feature of openbox.

Thanks
This task depends upon

"It runs xdg-autostart, if you have PyXDG installed, to run any programs that have requested to be started with the X session. (It does not run GNOME or KDE specific applications unless asked to, see xdg-autostart --help.) xdg-autostart is installed to /usr/lib/openbox/ because it will be distributed as part of the PyXDG package in the future. "

Sorry Dan, I guess when I clicked on "new task" I happened to be looking at pacman bugs. I see that one cannot select the project like you can select category etc. It's picked automatically depending on where you come from, I didn't know that.
